Truth told, I really don't want inXile to make a Fallout game.

That said, Fallout "New Vegas 2" from anyone else but Obsidian would just be a crappy attempt to cash in on the hype around it. Either Obsidian makes a new Fallout game, or they can just **** off with that idea for all I care.

I don't trust anybody making a NV2 at this point. Obsidian is a shell of it's former self, same with the rest of the gaming community. Why is there even a need for NV2? The game was so thoroughly fleshed out, any attempt at a sequel would be a weak cash grab. That didn't bode so well for Bloodlines 2 - Paradox went cheap with an inexperienced in-house team and the result speaks for itself.

It's a cult classic, so there's money to be made off of nostalgia, mostly nostalgia from a generation that never experienced the original. See Baldur's Gate 3.

I'd honestly much rather Obsidian made an Alpha Protocol sequel (Sigma Protocol?) rather than NV2. Granted, SEGA owns the IP, but it's not like Microsoft is hurting for money and SEGA probably wouldn't ask for an arm and a leg, given that they're not doing anything with the IP and probably never will.

 Norman Reedus apparently mentioned filming for a Death Stranding 2 (briefly, in a long text interview), so maybe they're really going to make one.

We just started the second one.  ....  And then the game came out, and it just won all these awards, and it was a huge thing, so we just started part two of that.

I hope they don't radically alter the concept/gameplay. I mean I suppose they will a little I'm sure. Possibly more "action" even, who knows. But yeah...like usual, hope it doesn't suck.

I still wait to go on a date and the woman to say to me "I hear the Adirondack's are beautiful this time of year"

[Zoraptor]

Please people, off brand Alpha Protocol should clearly be called Omega Methodology.

I'm still waitimg for an ex-Stasi agent (preferably female) to force me into submission.

Alpha Protocol made me realize that I have a thing for strong women, if you know what I mean.

Me that I care more about being a dad than a significant other. People were talking about romance options and I was wondering how to adopt Sis.

I learned that killing your boss can be a good thing.

So we can all agree, Alpha Protocol was an educational game.

Sadly, the judge did not agree.

This game was an Epic exclusive for a year and has just now released on Steam:

https://store.steampowered.com/app/597180/Old_World/

Anyone here played it? Any feedback? Looks very interesting to me, but also looks like playing it might get frustrating after a while.

[Chilloutman]

I have seen some lets play and it looks nice, I think its also on GoG - I am waiting for sale tho

[melkathi]

I think Old World launched on GOG and Steam last week?

 

Too busy with Against The Storm to remember

[Chilloutman]

I like the look of this newly announced game. I am both a Wuxia fan, and a fan of 2D-HD style graphics. It seems to ape Octopath Traveler very much in the visual department.

Owlcat teased Starfinder as their next game today. I think it was today. Wait, what's today?

[marelooke]

Assuming nothing got lost in translation this is kinda sad news:

That said, apparently plurals are easy to trip over for Eastern Europeans, so fingers crossed. If they really only release the one (they promised at least two), then, combined with dropping the Red Engine engine for an off the shelf one, it would seem the money types finally took over.

If that's the case I wouldn't be surprised if CDPR starts bleeding talent. Fingers crossed, but not feeling particularly hopeful with the news that's been coming out of that direction lately.

that's terrible, because it's just making the engine space that much smaller, Unity isn't in any shape to compete with UE4, and now yet another engine team will just disappear. I don't want all games to be made in UE5 

[HoonDing]

Then again the best CD Projekt game was made in Aurora.
